Hi, I'm back. Hope you like this chapter, and please comment.

Visions swam before Ciel's eyes, making him slightly dizzy. In one, he was trapped within that same repeating nightmare, where there was no chance of escape, and the knife would descend. He would scream out, but this time, no creature of darkness would come to his aid, and the blade would rip into his stomach.

In another, it was calmer on the outside, but inside Ciel's head was a turmoil of emotions when he saw Sebastian. But I can't tell him, not now.

And so, the wild crescendo of longing would be inside him.

And the last vision to futter across his subconscious was where he had braced himself to confess to Sebastian, to finally end that damned wave of longing he was met by a cold truth.

The feelings were not returned.

Then, a bright light invaded his mind, and all of these visions were forgotten.

"I think he's waking up." Henry looked down at the strange boy from the woods. He definitely was going to ask questions, he was just that way.

"Kid, tell us before you pick up random strangers and bring them into our home." Emma said. She herself was not so sure about the boy.

"Henry did the right thing. Otherwise, there was a good chance that the kid he brought here would've gotten electrocuted by lightning." Regina defended him. To prove her point, she looked outside the window, where the storm was howling loud as ever.

"Still, we might risk bringing something into our lives that we might not like."

Everybody remained silent at that comment.

Ciel blinked open his eyes all the way, and was greeted by a room full of unfamiliar people, a headache, and a feeling that something was missing.

Henry waited for the boy to look around, then he said, "Are you okay?"

The words tripped in Ciel's mouth for a moment, then he managed to squeeze out, "I think I'll manage."

Henry's face settled into a relieved look. "Okay, that's good."

Before he could ask another question, Emma interrupted. "You do realize that you were found in the middle of the woods right before a storm. How'd you get here?"

Ciel tried to answer, but then found that he didn't know an answer. It was simply not there. So he didn't speak.

"He's probably just as confused as all of us." Violet piped in.

"I'm Henry, and this is my two mom's Emma and Regina, and that's Violet." Henry said, smiling. He was trying hard not to overwhelm him.

Ciel, after grasping around in his head very hard, finally found an answer.

"My name is Ciel Phantomhive."

"What should we do with him?" Regina asked.

"Well, we obviously have to help him, and that's all I know." Henry interjected firmly.

"We can see if Granny's has a room." Emma said.

"I wonder what he's doing in Storybrooke." Regina said. The thought had already crossed all of their minds, and all of them didn't want to offer an answer.

Except for Henry.

He tried thinking of all the stories with a boy with a sad expression and an eye-patch, but he couldn't think of any at the top of his head. So, he got out the Storybook.

But much to his surprise, the book was already open.

It was open to a page with Ciel, and a butler all in black, following him like a shadow.
